If your TV won’t turn on or you don’t want to pay for cables, you can still enjoy watching your favorite movies. Maybe you were looking for websites where you can watch movies without signing up in the first place. Either way, we got you with our best free movie streaming sites roundup.

It’s rare to find anyone with a huge movie collection sitting on their shelves or even a digital one stored locally. That’s because dozens of streaming sites now deliver an on-demand ability to view your favorite movies through your television or smart device.

Plus, digitally stored movies quickly occupy hard drive space (each around 2GBs in size on average). So storing a large collection requires quite a bit of hard drive memory, which financially could quickly become prohibitive.

Various streaming services offer their huge movie and TV show libraries for a monthly subscription, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney +, Hulu, Apple TV+, and HBO Max.

But what about those users who would prefer to save money but still have access to a vast library of movies to enjoy for a night off or time with family?

Luckily, not all sites with movie libraries and good streaming capabilities charge users for their use. Many are offering their movie collections for free, making these a very cost-friendly option for casual movie viewers. Let’s take a look at 10 of the best free movie streaming sites with no sign-up necessary.

Best Free Movie Streaming Sites With No Sign Up Featured in This Roundup

Here are the 10 best free movie streaming sites with no sign up that you’ll learn about in this guide:

1. Crackle

Crackle video streaming platform

Let’s start with the best name in free movie streaming, Crackle. You may be familiar with this site as Sony Crackle. But they got acquired by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (CSS Entertainment), which changed the name to Crackle.

Crackle is one of the best free streaming services that offer on-demand movies and TV series. They do have to make their money somehow, so the trade-off for the free ticket to in-home or mobile device choices, you do have to endure some ads.

You can see fewer commercials by creating an account or logging in with Facebook. But you don’t have to; You can access Crackle pretty much everywhere and start streaming right away.

Featuring many classics and more recent Sony films, Crackle is a great option for those who do not want to splurge on a monthly payment for their entertainment.

2. Tubi

Tubi free movies and TV app

If you do not want to create an account to watch free movies, Tubi might be a good site choice for you.

The site boasts an impressive library of generally older films, but it includes some newer titles too. And the site also adds more movies and tv shows to its library weekly, so there will never be a shortage of choices.

The films are broken down into fairly broad categories so that any section can offer you a healthy selection. All of the movies are free to view without exception.

Most movie choices are not compressed for space savings so that you can enjoy nearly any selection in crisp HD format.

You are not limited to watching Tubi on the screen of a mobile device either with compatible sites available on most smart TVs and streaming devices like AirPlay, Amazon Fire Stick, and Chromecast.

3. Vudu

Vudu movies and TV app

With its nicely developed, smooth, and intuitive interface, Vudu is a great choice for someone looking for a good free movie selection.

The available movies and TV shows are organized into sensible categories to make it easy to find the movie type and title you feel like consuming. To play the movie, you need only to tap on the title to get the experience started.

One great feature of Vudu is that their movies can be downloaded and watched offline. On top of that, there is a Disc to Digital feature that can be used by which the viewer scans the barcode of a DVD they own to be able to view the digital version of the film.

Another key feature is that aside from free movies, Vudu also offers a wide variety of movies you can pay to watch.

Unlike a monthly subscription, you can utilize this pay-per-view method to ‘rent’ a movie that may not fall into the free movies domain.

4. YouTube

YouTube TV

Did you think YouTube was simply a place for video content of basically everything but free movies? Well…surprise, YouTube has loads of free movie content that can be watched as long as you are willing to put up with the occasional ads.

If you need something different to watch with kids, YouTube’s free offerings are heavily geared toward a younger audience. It also features some more obscure title choices that you can select.

While identifying free full-length features on YouTube may not be the most intuitive thing, the platform curates a movie playlist that puts many of the movie selection choices in one convenient place. Each of the movies available will be labeled as being available with ads for full disclosure.

There are other movies (older ones or classics) that are not included on the curated playlist, too, for those who love the nostalgic feel. There are also plenty of movies you can rent for a small price on YouTube and consume without the interference of ads, much like many other movie renting platforms.

5. Filmrise

FilmRise watch free movie and TV shows

Available on multiple streaming platforms, FilmRise is another option to stream movies for free. It has movies and tv shows, with new content being added daily into categories that include crime, action, horror, drama, comedies, and documentaries.

To access FilmRise you do not need a user account (it’s optional). This will not stop you from being able to keep track of the desired watchlist so you can track what movies or shows you wish to watch at a later time.

FilmRise houses many cult classics and favorites from years past, offering a great chance to catch up on movies you may have wanted to watch when they came out but passed on them for bigger contemporary titles.

You can access FilmRise on your smartphone (iOS and Android) and streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Facebook Watch, and Xbox.

6.  Pluto TV

Free Pluto TV app

Pluto TV is a great option for people who want to get some free on-demand movies in addition to many custom niche channels.

There are quite a few options for those looking to stream just movies, whether live or on-demand. However, if you are looking just for movies, and are comfortable watching them as they air, you might find the number of channels available overwhelming.

It’s important to point out that Pluto TV lets you hide the channels you are not interested in watching off your guide. Many popular and classic movies are available, including some relatively newer titles. You can also view movies that Pluto will air later on one of their many channel options.

The best part is that Pluto TV can be streamed from almost any streaming medium you can think of, including (but not limited to) Android, iPhone, iPad, various smart TV platforms, Amazon Fire, Windows, Vizio, and Chromecast.

7. The Roku Channel

The Roku Channel

The Roku Channel streaming service is one of the best movie streaming services. It provides a select grouping of commonly watched channels and even allows 50 hours of DVR recording time.

You can also add the Roku Channel to your TV or streaming device to enjoy the free Roku experience better. This platform gives the viewer access to a lot of on-demand content (ad-supported), including movies and tv shows.

Roku’s interface is nicely designed but isn’t quite tailored to On-Demand searches. That certainly does not mean that you cannot find a great many options to watch, and the quality of picture streams in high definition quality with rare issues in this regard.

8. Plex

Plex TV

Plex is not a streaming service per se, it’s more of a media player that lets you share your personal collection of movies, TV, music, and photos anywhere. You can stream those contents on Plex media servers and a wide range of apps and devices for free.

The movies can be browsed by genres and accessed easily through Plex’s clean and attractive interface.

While Plex is perfectly legal, the contents on its servers are populated by its own users. The legality comes in with how those users get the movies they’re streaming. So you might be well streaming illegal content for free in the comfort of your couch.

9. Popcornflix

Popcornflix free streaming app

Another popular free movie-watching option is Popcornflix. The site contains the option to choose from movies, tv shows, and viral videos, all spread into separate sections designed for easy browsing.

The movie section is divided up further into sub-genres like action, drama, comedy, etc. You also won’t be relegated to watching older, more obscure films, as Popcornflix offers a good selection of newer, more popular films, most of which can be found under the new arrivals section.

10. CONtv

CONtv
